The most elaborate preparations arr being

and social event ever given in Florida
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1887-09-17
THE WOOL BUSINESS.

1T is often said by men who think
they are very practical in their views
that the protectiye-tariff policy is
proper in manufacturing districts,
but that in the agricultural states of
the West it is burden. This theory,
based upon assumed discrimination,
should be turned over to the Demo
cratic party. Such theory has no
place in the domain Of practical
business.
This article is designed to call at
tention to the wool industry in
Kansas and its relation to the tariff
question. 1t has been, and is, the
policy of the Republican party to
protect the interests of American
Wools by the creation of an adequate
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1887-09-17

tariff on imported woods. That this
tariff schedule requires re-adjusting
from time to time is a matter OF
spontaneous admission on the part
of the Republican party. A change
in these rates should have been
made before this. Had the national
Republican ticket been elected in
1884. the change would now be a
reality. AS it has been since the
Democratic accession to power, the
road to making such change in
the interest Of American wool grow
ers has been blocked effectually.
Woods are pouring into America
from foreign countries, because our
tariff laws do not protect effectually
certain of our American grades.
The natural result is the serious
crippling Of the American wool in
terests. The calamity strikes no
where with more force than in Kan
sas. Unlike the liquor interests Of
the country, the profits in the wool
industry, at the best, are only mod
crate. The wool men feel unable to
raise millions, or even hundreds of
thousands, Of dollars to carry their
cause through congress. They are
becoming thoroughly discouraged
in many places, and perhaps no
worse anywhere than in western
Kansas. These men reason correct
ly when they take the view that
there is no Immediate hope for the
amendment of the present tariff
schedule on woods. The general
tariff slaughter which the Demo-
Gratis expect to accomplish in con-
gress the coming winter would, Of
course, only deepen the gloom Of
the wool growers in Kansas, as we'll
as throughout the country. Fortu-
nately, however, a Republican SEN
ate stands in the way of the Demo-
cratic realization.
Ii, in 1888, the Republican ma
tional ticket is elected, not to ex-
coed a year from then will elapse be-
fore there will be a healthy boom
in the American wool business.
On the question Of the tariff, we
are for one which will protect all
American industries. Were we liv-
ing elsewhere, our conviction could
not be more positive than it is in our
Kansas home.

Mrs. HAyKER, Of Wild Horse
township, Graham county, we see by the
Millbrook Democrat, was adjudged insane
by jury on Tuesday of last week. The
husband of the unfortunate woman is
said to have been Indifferent to her suf-

dersd for several days. He had mer ely
inquired of some of the neighbors wheth-
er they had seen her.

THERE is an out-and-out rupture
between the Cleveland administration

tbs intends to be a delegate in the next
Republican national convention, we now
move that he be called off the trail. It is
time for Republicanism to let this dog
stay in his own kennel. That kennel is
far removed from any continued loyalty
to any common interest.

JOHANNA MOST, the anarchist,
tried in vain the other day in New York
city to declare his intention to become an
American citizen. In answer to ques-
tion, he said that he was in favor OF
obeying laws if they were good ones.
The clerk thereupon refused to admins
ter the oath of allegiance. Every anarch-
list should be sat down upon in just this
way when he attempts to declare his in
tention to become an American citizen.
Many of the breed, who seem not to have
wished anything Of the kind heretofore,
are said to be making these applications
now, with the view of having at command
for the execution of their hellish designs
the largest possible number Of votes.

Now COMES the Oberlin Opinion

Now COMES the Oberlin Opinion
with the declaration, over the signature
of Hon. w. D. Street, that he has sold it.
He says he sold because there was money
in his doing SO. He talks like he is going
to leave Oberlin. We hope he will not
leave western Kansas. One such man is
worth more to a community than any
dozen men are who are afraid to express
their views or do not know enough to
state them so as to make them under
stand. Well, Street, you, of course, will
send us the next paper you start.

THE Scott City Herald continues

The Scott City Herald continues
to fret at Wa-Keeney being a dead town.
Now, Brother Case, if you believe this,
why do not you let her alone. Advertis-
ing dead town is precisely like advertis-
ing a dead man. It Injuries only the
cause OF the advertiser. The fact is, you
are provoked at Wa-Keeney because she
is not dead enough to let Scott City take
the government land Office. The Herald
should revise its tactics SO as not to make
its wish father to its thought.

TALKING ABOUT VIRTUE.

If Register Beard of the Wa-Keeney
Land office is such faithful officer and
noble gentleman will the IVa-Kecney
Tribune or Walnut Vazley Sentinel tell
why it is he can so grossly violate the law
as to publish Final Proof Notices in pa
per twenty-five miles from piece of land
when there is another paper published
within three hundred yards of the same
tract and between said land and the pa
per in which the notice appears? Will
they explain why Mr.. Beard will not an
swer civil letter, although it pertains di-
rectly to official business? The Register
of the Garden City Land Office has an
swered all letters of inquiry promptly, but
Mr.. Beard disdains to notice us at all, and
in this acts very ungentlemanly and I'M
official in our estimation. If the law re-
lating to the publication Of Proof Notices
can be perverted by the will of the Regis
ter of the local land Office without remedy,
we say repeal it, for it is farce and an
imposition on the poor settler. How do
you explain why Commissioner Sparks has
required new proof cases up in Dakota
where Proof Notices we're not published
in the paper nearest the land? What
right has the Register to say that the
publication fee shall be $500. May wenot
publish settlers Proof Notice free of
charge or for fifty cents, or any amount
we may agee upon? Now don't play the
clam in this matter, but open up and
give the public some light on the sub
ject.-[ Nonchalanta Herald.
The above might be properly referred
to all the democratic land notice editors
in this district who have been bowling
about the virtue of their pet Ness City
Ne7vS.
The World desires to, be understood
as having no inclination to censure Mr..
Beard for refusing to place final-proof no.
tees with ii. It is as far from being his
kind of paper as his party is from being
our party. If a Republican register in
Wa-Keeney ever gives to Democratic
paper in this place a fnal-proof notice,
he will be the one on whom we will prac-
tice with our scalping knife, ard don't
yon forget it.
But Mr.. Beard, in ignoring the Herald,
does wrong. This statement is made
without our stopping to inquire the poll
tics of that paper or whether it has any.
The Herald is the only paper published
at Nonchalanta, Under orders from his
superiors, it is Mr.. Boards duty to place
with that paper all notices applying to
lands lying nearer Nonchalanta than any
other place where a paper is published,
unless, on investigation, he finds that the
Herald has not bona .fde circulation.
The Buffalo Park Pioneer brought Mr..
Beard to time on this very condition of
affairs. 1t is time that somebody is look
ing into the cause of the Democratic sheet
in Wa-Keeney receiving SO many final
proof notices. The final-proof notice ap-
plying to lands in the eastern end OF this
county belong to paper in the town of
Ellis.

CONGRESSMAN RANDALL, the wore

comes, was summoned to Washington
last week to have a conference with
Cleveland, Secretary Fairchild and
Speaker Carlisle concerning the proposed
legislation for the coming winter on the
internal revenue and the tariff. Randall
is the only protectionist in the group. If
an agreement by the quartet is reached, it
will not be apt to be at the sacrifice of
Randalls protective tariff views.

better, though, in view of what Headley
has done for his county, to name him for
